Leeds vs Tottenham Preview
- 그리기
- 두 팀 모두 득점
Saturday’s Premier League action kicks off at Elland Road, where Leeds United host Tottenham Hotspur in a clash between two sides enduring inconsistent starts. Leeds have defied expectations so far to sit comfortably in mid-table, while Spurs’ struggles with injuries and fixture congestion threaten to derail their ambitions. With both clubs still searching for consistency, this meeting in Yorkshire could prove a pivotal moment in their seasons.
Written off by many as relegation candidates before the campaign began, Leeds United have shown admirable resilience under Daniel Farke. They enter this clash with eight points on the board, placing them in mid-table but with little room for error.
Recent performances highlight their grit. A 0-0 home draw against Newcastle and a 2-2 stalemate with Bournemouth — both top-half finishers last season — have added credibility to their survival bid. Farke himself admitted he was “happy enough” with the point against Bournemouth, despite the frustration of conceding a stoppage-time equaliser.
Elland Road has been a fortress for Leeds. Their remarkable 23-game unbeaten home run across both the Championship and Premier League (W18, D5) gives them the belief that they can challenge any opponent on home turf, including a Spurs side weakened by injuries and a demanding schedule.
Tottenham’s campaign has been disrupted by the balancing act of European commitments and domestic fixtures. A 2-2 midweek draw away to Bodø/Glimt in Norway was another example of their struggles to impose themselves in Europe, and it has come at a cost.
Previous evidence suggests Spurs find it difficult to recover quickly from midweek action. Following European matches earlier this season, they stumbled to consecutive Premier League draws against Brighton (2-2) and Wolves (1-1). These patterns are concerning for manager Ange Postecoglou, especially as he attempts to manage a squad riddled with absentees.
Adding to the pressure is Tottenham’s patchy record against newly-promoted clubs. They have won only four of their last seven league fixtures against promoted sides (W4, D1, L2). With this year’s promoted trio performing at the best standard since the 2017/18 campaign, Spurs cannot afford to underestimate their hosts.
헤드 투 헤드 기록
Tottenham have enjoyed the upper hand in recent meetings with Leeds, winning five of the six encounters between 2020/21 and 2022/23 (W5, L1). Their dominance was particularly evident in attack, scoring four goals in each of the last three matches.
However, this Spurs side are far from the free-scoring unit of those years, and Leeds’ defensive resilience at home suggests the head-to-head history may count for little when they meet this time around.
인기 통계 및 연속 기록
- Slow starters: Leeds have scored the opening goal just once in this Premier League campaign.
- Blunt when beaten: Leeds were held scoreless in nine of their last ten competitive defeats.
- Spurs’ clean sheet factor: All five of Tottenham’s competitive wins this season came with a clean sheet.
- Second-half strength: Tottenham remain the only side not to have been outscored after half-time in the Premier League this season (2H record: W3, D3).
주목해야 할 주요 업체
리즈 유나이티드
Midfielder Sean Longstaff stood out as the Player of the Match against Bournemouth, driving Leeds forward with creativity and energy.
Interestingly, he has a personal record of assists in three of his last eight appearances against Tottenham, making him a player capable of unlocking Spurs’ defence once more.
토트넘 핫스퍼
For Spurs, 브레넌 존슨 has proven to be a lucky charm. The forward has scored in three Premier League matches against newly-promoted sides, and Tottenham have won each of the last eight games in which he has found the net.
Given Spurs’ depleted squad, Johnson’s ability to deliver in crucial moments could be key to their chances of victory.
팀 뉴스 및 실종된 선수
Leeds are still without new goalkeeper Lucas Perri, who is not expected to return until after the international break.
Tottenham have also been dealt a major blow in attack, with Dominic Solanke sidelined following minor ankle surgery. His absence further depletes a Spurs frontline already coping with injuries, forcing Postecoglou to rely on alternative options to carry the goal-scoring burden.
전술 분석
Leeds will rely heavily on their impressive home record and defensive organisation to frustrate Tottenham. Farke’s side may not be prolific scorers, but they have shown the ability to stay compact, break with pace, and use the Elland Road crowd to their advantage.
Tottenham, meanwhile, face a delicate balancing act. Their midweek exertions and growing injury list mean they are unlikely to dominate proceedings from start to finish. Expect Spurs to be cautious early on, looking to grow into the game and rely on their strength in second halves — an area where they have consistently avoided being outscored this season.
베팅 분석
The trends point towards a closely contested encounter. Leeds’ formidable home record and Tottenham’s struggles to cope with fixture congestion make the double chance market appealing. Backing Leeds to win or draw provides value, especially with Spurs missing key personnel.
Another angle could be looking at the “under” markets. Leeds rarely score first and are often shut out when losing, while Spurs’ victories hinge on clean sheets. A low-scoring game may be on the cards despite the attacking talents on display.
예측
This clash has the potential to be cagey, with both sides weighed down by their own issues. Leeds’ superb home record and Spurs’ injury problems suggest the hosts have the edge in terms of momentum. Tottenham’s quality may still shine through, but the safer expectation is that Leeds will take something from the game.
